In the NBA regular season, the Rockets narrowly defeated the Jazz by one point in overtime at home and won a crucial card battle. In this game, Rockets player Shin Jing scored a big double-double of 37 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, and scored 7 points in 3 of 3 in overtime. Even with this data, there are still many problems. Even missing two free throws in the final stage almost ruined the game, and if Clarkson's final throw was a little stronger, Shin Kyung would have changed from a hero to a criminal.
What's even more amazing is that Shen Jing has such a high score, but the plus/minus on the court is the lowest for the Rockets. As bad as Jalen Green, the plus/minus is also one point higher than him. The main reason is that Shin Kyung's defense is so poor, and as his stats get better and better this season, many people have begun to compare Shin Kyung and Jokic, but the gap between the two is far from what the data can show. Jokic can be described as an offensive and defensive combination, and more importantly, he can organize the offense and connect the team. On the other hand, Shen Jing seems to be brushing data, just like a big Wood.
In the final stages of the game, we saw more than once that the Rockets replaced Shin Kyung and Jalen Green on the defensive end, and then switched them back when it was time to attack. Even Jalen Green is poor offensively, but the defensive end is a little stronger than Shin Jing. This victory can be described as a team victory, and Shin Kyung's high score must be credited, but the scheduling of head coach Udoka is the key. And in the end, Amen Thompson's block was even more indispensable, and Whitmore and Smith Jr. also played a role.
Only Jalen Green and Shen Jing are two extremes, one looks bad at playing, but it is actually not good. The other looks like the data is good, but the actual overall contribution is a bit worse. It is undeniable that Shen Jing is indeed strong, but his dazzling data cannot hide his own shortcomings. The good thing is that he is still very young and has a long time to change and improve, and he has met a high-level coach like Udoka, who may become a real star player in time.
